Stewball was a good horse, and very sensitive about some things.

It's madding to get to the Bonnie Dobson 1962 recording of "The First Time ... " because I would need to subscribe to something I don't want to subscribe to.

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down is not folk music. It's commercial pop music.
